Sarah Haile
Head of Walgate Family Office Services
About
I provide professional management services to address the personal and domestic needs of wealthy individuals and their families – those matters they know need addressing but don’t have either the know-how, time or possibly the inclination to do.
I trained as a Chartered accountant and found my niche in the family office space. I love the challenge and diversity it provides. Having been involved in many different and often seemingly impossible project over the years, I’d describe my job as solving problems. The answer is always yes and then you work out how to deliver on time and on budget.
I describe myself as a ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’, but if you need someone to export your art portfolio, manage your super yacht through a global pandemic or oversee the accounting and reporting for over 120 special purpose vehicles – I’m your person!
In my spare time, I am fitness fanatic, enthusiastic baker, doting mother and Trustee for the charity Days for Girls UK.
